Returning head coach Marc Larson has helped build a powerhouse here in Cannon County as both the Lions and Lionett es are already in or in contention for a berth in the TSSAA state meet.

“It is going to be very competitive for the boys and girls,” Larson said. “They both are deeper than last year. So, the girls I think can be bett er than last year if everybody stays healthy. The boys are deeper, and we got a lot of good freshman that are inexperienced, but I think we will be a litt le bett er. The boys is so competitive in this region. It still will be tough, but they got a shot to go to state.” Proud Supporter The Lionett es are led by seniors Hannah Whited and Samantha of Gaither, while the Lions are led by senior Devin Gilpatrick.

David and Goliath The Philistine army had gathered for war against Israel. The two armies faced each other, camped for batt le on opposite sides of a steep valley. A Philistine giant measuring over nine feet tall and wearing full armor came out each day for forty days, mocking and challenging the Israelites to fi ght. His name was Goliath. Saul, the King of Israel, and the whole army were terrifi ed of Goliath. One day David, the youngest son of Jesse, was sent to the batt le lines by his father to bring back news of his brothers. David was probably just a young teenager at the time. While there, David heard Goliath shouting his daily defi ance, and he saw the great fear stirred within the men of Israel. David responded, “Who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies of God?” So David volunteered to fi ght Goliath. It took some persuasion, but King Saul fi nally agreed to let David fi ght against the giant. Dressed in his simple tunic, carrying his shepherd’s staff , sling and a pouch full of stones, David approached Goliath. The giant cursed at him, hurling threats and insults. David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defi ed ... today I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds of the air ... and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel ... it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the batt le is the Lord’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.” As Goliath moved in for the kill, David reached into his bag and slung one of his stones at Goliath’s head. Finding a hole in the armor, the stone sank into the giant’s forehead, and he fell face down on the ground. David then took Goliath’s sword, killed him and then cut off his head. When the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they turned and ran. So the Israelites pursued, chasing and killing them and plundering their camp.

The premium for most Part B benefi ciaries in 2016 is $104.90 per month, while new benefi ciaries pay $121.80/month and higher earning couples – those with incomes over $170,000 per year – pay even more. There are also a number of other caveats you should know about depending on your wife’s age. Older Spouse If your wife is older than you, she can qualify for Medicare on your work record at age 65, even if you’re not gett ing Medicare yourself, but you must be at least 62 years old. You also must have been married for at least one year for your wife to apply for Medicare on your work record. If you are still working and your wife is covered by your employer’s health insurance, she may want to enroll only in the premium-free Medicare Part A until you retire or your employer coverage ends. Part B – along with its premium – can be added later without penalty as long as your employer’s group health plan is your “primary coverage.” Check with your employers’ human resources department to fi nd out about this. If your wife is more than three years older than you and has no health coverage, you can buy her Medicare Part A until you turn 62 and the premium-free benefi t kicks in. The Part A monthly premium is $411 in 2016. Younger Spouse If your wife is younger than you, she will need health insurance until she turns 65 and becomes eligible for Medicare. This may be through your employer if you are still working, through COBRA (see dol.gov/ebsa/publications/cobraemployee.html), or through the Health Insurance Marketplace (see healthcare.gov) or outside the marketplace through a private insurance company. Other Medicare Options In addition to Medicare Part A and B, when you and your wife become Medicare eligible, each of you will also need to enroll in a Part D prescription drug plan if you don’t have credible drug coverage from your employer or union.
